JANA Extended Credit Strategy

The JANA Extended Credit Strategy is a portfolio of high yielding fixed income securities that have a credit quality rating below ‘BBB’ (i.e. non-investment grade). These securities usually pay higher rates of interest because they have a higher risk of default than investment grade bonds.

The portfolio invests in extended credit to capture the expected long-term premium paid for investing in securities with higher risk of default. The portfolio aims to provide exposure to this credit risk with minimal exposure to interest rate (duration) risk. High yield bonds tend to perform well at times of credit expansion and strong economic growth.

The portfolio may include:

global high yield bonds – fixed rate bonds;

bank loans – floating rate bonds that are secured over assets of the company and are therefore expected to provide superior capital protection to high yield bonds which are typically unsecured; and
